Actually, Hitler had a "thing" against Communists... So kinda. But otherwise, he's dead.

Yes. He disliked them "slightly."

Slightly?
He'd have killed them if he wanted to!

Update!
I didn't finish the game, but I think I found a way to win. But first, let's recap what happened.
We started in 1970 AD, and within six years we got a Great Spy, which we used to build Scotland Yard in Tranquility.
1980 AD was a great year. Immigrants flocked to our capital city Love, inspired by stories of culture, and we even took the lead!
So pleased was I with the magnificence of my empire that I paused to explore the wonders of the Nice Guy Empire. Join me, if you would, on a rail tour of our fine country. And no, we're not going by train out of nostalgia - we don't have any planes.
Ok so maybe my empire isn't as wonderful as I thought, something the rest of the world figured out two years later.
See, the world is composed of three turds, and each turd has a northern and southern empire. If this weren't a Mr. Nice Guy game, I'd seek out to conquer my turd first, and then the other turds from there.
Well, one of the turds was finally conquered. Roosevelt defeated Suryavarman, made him his vassal, and took the lead, pretty much for good.
To add insult to injury, Roosevelt asked nicely for Fission, so I had to give it to him (one of the rules of this game). My whole strategy was to research the most advanced technologies I could, and then trade them for less advanced ones. That doesn't work when the game's leader just asks you nicely for them!
At least I can count on my friends to cheer me up.
And seeing how distraught I was, my good buddy Gilgamesh tried to cheer me up with a massive naval demonstration off my coast.
I played a few more turns, but it's obvious what's going on.
- Roosevelt is going for either score or military victory, and has a lead.
- Gilgamesh is going for the space race, and he has a huge lead
- Mansa is going for a cultural victory, and already has a city with legendary culture
- Survayarman is going for a golf victory (lowest score wins)
It's obvious that my only chance is to win diplomatically. I'm going to build United Nations!
The way I see it, my rival will be Roosevelt. He'll vote for himself, so will his vassal, and probably Mansa too because he really hates my guts. But I'll vote for myself (probably - I'm still on the fence), and I'm sure Mehmed and Gilgamesh will. It'll be close, but I think my side has more votes, especially if I can bribe Mansa to abstain. Check it out.
I just hope I don't get tangled up in any wars. Gilgamesh might take another run at Munsa, and hopefully vassalize him to get me more votes.
Anyway, that's the long awaited update. I hope it was worth it. Stay tuned for my building the UN and trying to win a diplomatic victory.

Sorry guys, I didn't play this week-end, I had a date. With a girl and everything.
(My readers say "Listen if you don't want to update it just say so, you don't have to make up crazy excuses.")
Update coming soon. As soon as the ladies back up off me for a day. So in other words, very soon.
